There was an issue of inSync long ago in a galaxy far, far away where we wrote about cool new blank rack panels from a company named Funk Logic. Yes, the name alone is worth the price of admission. Well, now we have their products in stock. These are blank rack panels that look like gear, which reminds me of my old rock band days in the 19(decade censored to protect the old)’s where we used dummy Marshall stacks to look cool. But these things really are cool, and they have parameters like Tuberator, Vintagrator, and Funkerator. We have the two space Algorhythmic Prosecutor (AP-302) in black and red, and also the single space Digilog Dynamicator (DD-301) in black and red.
